For the Soft-Hackle, Grouse & Green I just picked up my material today.
Scott
I am going to try and focus on some flies for a new kind of fishing I've been doing. Carp.
Here is my list so far:
Soft Hackle: Mustache Ride (by the rough fisher)
Nymph: Carp Crack
Dry: Not sure yet but I was thinking a hopper of some kind if that counts as a "Dry" or possibly and elk hair caddis. I've never tied that and I'd like to learn.
Salmon: Not sure of the name but basically a modified Popsicle fly.
Wet: sz 14 Tom's BWO.
Nymph: sz 14 Squirrel hair nymph.
Dry: sz 14 thinking about doing ether a cricket or a spider.
Streamer: sz 08 Gartside Gurgler.
Been practicing the techniques for the soft hackle. One question has come up. When I use both sides of the hackle it wants to twist. I saw where some dressers remove one side of the hackle. This seemed to make it easier to wind on the hackle. Any suggestions, preferences, etc.?
jkeepes2000,I just wind it as-is tied tip first on top of the fly til I have wrapped it enough and then tie it off and cut it.
I tie simple,not nice tho lol,fish don't care so I don't.
Just my opinion.
